With one point on Friday night, the gap to third-placed Millwall is now an unattainable 13 points.
That means Frank Lampard’s Coventry can really start celebrating.
“We knew we were very close, but to get it done this way for this club after 25 years – wow,” Lampard said.

“It’s absolutely fantastic! This has been an incredible season and I feel like we deserve this,” Thomas told Sky Sports.
The last time Coventry played in the English top flight was in the 2000/2001 season.
